COOP COAST is a design & research unit within the graduate diploma school of CSA*. Over the course of the academic year 2010/11 the studio is investigating the political, socioeconomic and spatial realities of coastal towns, both in Kent and across the English Channel. Oscillating between macro and micro scales, between urban and rural, temporal and typological conditions, the studio embraces strategic and activist design practices alike; and will explore the potential for cooperative action within the realms of regional design, programmatic urbanism and performative architecture.

Studio: Pauline Harris, Alasdair McNab, Joao Neves, Sarjay Patel, Benjamin Reay, Sara Resende, Migle Saltynite, Richard Saunders, Rhea Shepherd, Lawrence Sherwood, Hannah Wyatt & Gabor Stark

Folkestone Harbour Regeneration


Inspired by the elegance and continuity of the railway line, where once there was life and movement, vital part in urban infrastructure, the project seeks to find a new place for industrial liaison transforming it into a moment of post-industrial laser.
A sequence of episodic and varied public spaces. Landscapes arranged along a single line but in the same way very consistent. The link between Folkestone town with the seafront, one of the richest region of Kent coast.
